DBS certificates
Existing DBS certificates
If you already have a DBS certificate, you may not need to apply for a new one if:
- it is an Enhanced Child Workforce with Children’s Barred list checked and it is registered with the DBS online service or issued within three months of the date we receive your chaperone application
- you are employed by LCC or a LCC maintained school and can demonstrate continuous service since it was issued
New DBS certificates
If you do not have a DBS as outlined above, we will ask you to complete an application for a new check as part of your application for a chaperone licence.
DBS checks will be charged as follows:
- £5 for volunteer applications
- £90 for professional applications
If you need a new DBS application, you must provide us with evidence of your identity. Your certificate is posted to your home address and you must send it to us.
If you do not provide a copy of your DBS within one month of receiving your certificate, we will cancel your application.
